A Retro Remake of ‘Splat’ for the Retro Remakes Competition 2004.
It is basically a maze game but with a difference! The maze moves
automatically and you simply have to survive. Not as easy as it
sounds though as there are lots of deadly traps to avoid and being
squashed against the maze edge is also not a good idea. Each game
uses the same maze but it scrolls in a random way each time using
a distinct set of rules which I managed to fathom out from the
original game.
I have tried to keep it as faithful as possible to the original
except for the last level which I have made easier to understand.
I have also included a low-res ‘real’ spectrum graphics mode for
the nostalgic value!
Once you have completed 9 levels you will be back at the start but
everything is much quicker.
The original game came out on the 48K ZX Spectrum in 1983 by
Incentive Software Ltd, programmed by I.Andrew and I.Morgan.

Another thing that really makes Splat (Remake) enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Splat (Remake). Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
